Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

The old Gu's house has a low terrain and a high foundation. From a distance, it looks like an isolated island standing on a small slope.

The house was dimly lit, waiting for the family to return.

Gu Mingdong looked up and walked up the stairs, feeling better for some reason.

Probably this tranquility and peace is the precious thing that the last world couldn't ask for.

"Brother!" As soon as the door was pushed open, a hand stretched out from the room and quickly pulled Gu Mingdong in.

Gu Mingnan, who always likes to be lively, didn't go to watch the criticisms and fights, but looked out nervously.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows: "Are you a thief?"

The word "thief" irritated Gu Erdi, and he made sure that no one followed him, so he turned around and asked, "Brother, what happened just now?"

Next to the only kerosene lamp in the house, Gu Sanmei and Gu Simei also looked at him with puzzled and curious eyes, but the twins were held in their arms by the two of them, and their heads nodded.

"Why did our family's food disappear? Did Mr. Wu really steal the soybeans? Where did he have the guts to hide the unfinished soybeans in the stove..."

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "You ask so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer first?"

Now when Second Brother Gu saw his elder brother raising his eyebrows, even though he spoke kindly, he subconsciously restrained his temper.

The second brother Gu touched his nose subconsciously, met the elder brother's eyes and restrained his temper: "I, I just want to ask about our food, why is it missing?"

"That's right, brother, I put it in the cabinet with my own hands, why is it gone?" Gu Sanmei also looked at him suspiciously.

That's a hundred catties of grain, not a catty or two catties that can be stuffed into a mouse hole.

"I took rice and sweet potatoes when I was cooking in the evening. Why did the third uncle and the team leader disappear when they opened it?" Gu Simei was also surprised in her heart.

Before Gu Mingdong came back, the two of them turned the twins inside and out, but found nothing.

If it wasn't for the fact that the feeling of being full after dinner hadn't disappeared, the sisters would have thought that there was no food at all at home, and they were dreaming about the previous full meals.

Gu Mingdong didn't hold back, and led them to the back of the house.

Gu Erdi craned his neck to look around: "Where is it hidden? I have searched here, and there is nowhere."

As a result, Gu Mingdong pointed to the roof: "Look over there."

The night was dark, Gu Erdi squinted his eyes, jumped up and looked at the roof, only to find a snakeskin bag hung on the eaves near the bamboo forest.

"Here it is!"

The earthen house is not high, it is the traditional shape of high in the middle and low on both sides. If it is daytime, you can see something on the roof at a glance.

But now it was night, and the visibility was low because of the darkness. When Liu and Gu Jianguo searched the house, they naturally ignored the roof.

After all, they broke in suddenly, who would have thought that Gu Mingdong would hide the food on the eaves in a short while.

"Brother, when did you hide the grain on the roof?" Second Brother Gu asked curiously, there was still no movement when he threw it up, how much effort was it?They don't even have a ladder.

Soon, the three brothers and sisters witnessed the miraculous scene with their own eyes.

Gu Mingdong Shiran walked over, jumped easily, moved nimbly like a monkey picking peaches, and directly took down the bag of grain.

Is this the eldest brother of their family who is tall and can't do anything?

When did their eldest brother jump so high? Overnight, Gu Erdi felt that he almost didn't know his eldest brother.

The three brothers and sisters staring at the stars didn't know that when Gu Mingdong landed on the ground, he swayed a bit, so he was able to stabilize himself without staggering, and he didn't lose his temper with his younger siblings.

In the final analysis, the body is still not good enough to keep up with the soul.

Gu Mingdong concealed his little embarrassment, and confidently threw the snakeskin bag to his younger brother: "Let's go, put it back in the cabinet."

Second brother Gu didn't see it at all, he hugged the snakeskin bag subconsciously, and was distracted: "Put it back directly, what if someone comes to search again?"

Gu Sanmei suggested: "Brother, why don't you let me in the house, Xiao Bei and I are girls, they are always embarrassed to enter the house of two girls."

Gu Erdi habitually yelled at her: "I think you want to steal it."

"Second Gu! Do you think I'm you? I know how to eat and drink all day long." Gu Sanmei blushed with anger. She was usually a little narrow-minded, but she really didn't mean it just now.

"Second brother, third sister, stop arguing, and let others hear..."

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Gu Mingdong glared at him alone: ​​"Don't say that about your family."

"Just put it in Xiaoxi and Xiaobei's room. They usually cook, so it's convenient to use."

The second brother Gu blushed, and carried the snakeskin bag awkwardly and walked away: "I'm just joking, women just can't take jokes."

Turning around, he still put the snakeskin bag into the room of the two younger sisters.

There are only three rooms in the old Gu's house. In the past, Gu Mingdong and his wife lived in one room with their children, the two sisters lived in one room, and Gu's second brother had a single room for himself.

Now that the sister-in-law has passed away, the twins have been living with the sisters, and the brothers live in a single room.

Gu Sanmei was angry at all times, she was good at hiding things, she hid the snakeskin bag at the bottom of the closet, unless someone rummaged through the closet, they would never find it.

As a result, as soon as the food was hidden, there was a knock on the door outside.

Gu Simei panicked all of a sudden: "Someone is here again, what should I do, should I hide on the roof again?"

"Don't panic." Gu Mingdong said reassuringly before asking loudly, "Who is it?"

Gu Jianguo's voice came from outside: "A Dong, you're not asleep, I'm your third uncle."

When they heard that it was Gu Jianguo, the brothers and sisters became even more nervous, and the second brother Gu had already reached out to take out the bag again.

Gu Mingdong held back his movements: "Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are staying in the room, you and I go out to see Uncle Third."

Wu Laosan was arrested and the evidence was conclusive. Gu Mingdong didn't think that Gu Jianghui suspected him, and even killed a carbine in the middle of the night.

Second Brother Gu pursed his lips and muttered, "What if Uncle Third finds out?"

Gu Mingdong ignored him, walked out of the room quickly, and opened the door latch.

Gu Jianguo was standing on the stone steps at the door, under the shadow of the dim kerosene lamp, he could vaguely see his usual serious appearance.

He put his hands behind his back and frowned.

"Third uncle, why are you here so late?" Gu Mingdong let the door open and asked him to come in and sit down.

Gu Jianguo coughed: "It's too late, I won't sit down."

"A Dong, you take this."

He took out a bag from behind, it didn't look big, and stuffed it directly into Gu Mingdong's hand: "Take it."

As soon as he got it, Gu Mingdong knew that it contained food, and Xinhu seemed to have been hit by a stone.

Gu Mingdong quickly refused: "Third Uncle, I can't accept this."

At this time of year, there is no food supply, and Gu Jian’s country has a heavy burden, and everyone’s life is hard. Besides, their family is not really out of food, so how can they accept it.

However, Gu Jianguo said with a gesture that could not be refused: "Accept it. Adults can eat wild vegetables to lie to their stomachs, but children can't do it. This is not for you, it is for the two children."

Obviously just now when he searched the kitchen, Gu Jianguo saw the basket of wild vegetables, and was afraid that his nephew's family would run out of food long ago, and adults and children would only eat wild vegetables to survive.

Gu Jianguo was really afraid that his nephew's family would not be able to survive. After the death of his wife, the two children would not be able to support him, so how could he be worthy of his dead cousin.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be able to deliver the last bit of decent food from the family, and after the delivery, his family could only eat sweet potatoes to live on.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Mingdong to speak again, he turned around and left.

"Third Uncle..." Gu Mingdong quickly chased after him.

Gu Jianguo stopped and looked back at him, his face was still serious, but his eyes were filled with relief: "Okay, why are you being polite to third uncle."

After a pause, he said again: "Lijuan is gone, you can cheer up and work hard, and third uncle is relieved."

Gu Mingdong stood on the steps holding the bag of grain. The grain weighed at most ten catties, but it made him feel that it weighed more than a thousand catties.

This is an era of famine, and ten catties of grain represent life.

"Brother?" The second brother Gu was also moved in his heart, ashamed of his villainous heart just now, but he is the original nephew, so it is not as shocking as Gu Mingdong's heart.

When Gu Mingdong returned home with the food, he opened it and saw that there were some old rice in the bag, and there were also sweet potatoes in it.

The second brother Gu saw it, and couldn't help but say, "The third uncle's house still has rice."

At the end, he said: "Third Uncle sent rice to our house, and when Third Aunt finds out tomorrow, we will definitely have to fight him again."

Gu Jianguo and their deceased father were cousins, and they used to help their brothers and sisters a lot in the past, and because of this, they often quarreled with Third Aunt Gu.

"Brother, do we want to return it?" If there was no food at home, the second brother Gu would definitely eat it quickly, and the third aunt Gu would not lose the meat after scolding, but now they have food at home.

Gu Mingdong handed the bag to the younger sister who came out: "Third Uncle won't accept it even if you return it, so let's put it away first."

"Remember this kindness, and return it double in the future."

Second brother Gu said sullenly: "Then you can't owe more and more. When can you pay it off? Or don't want it. I will catch up and pay it back to third uncle, so as not to listen to third aunt's ambiguity."

Gu Sanmei took it, and said quietly: "Second brother, our family has food to return, but if you want to return it, third uncle will definitely have to ask where the food came from. How will you answer then?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Gu Erdi suddenly turned his head and looked at his eldest brother: "Brother, how did you get your food?"

Gu Mingdong smacked it.

Whether Second Brother Gu is stubborn or not is stupid, you can understand it instantly by looking at his expression, and said with a bitter face: "It seems that I can't tell Third Uncle."

Gu Mingdong really couldn't directly say that the prey on the mountain belonged to the public and could not be hunted casually. His private trading behavior was better for Wu Laosan to steal food and plant it.

As far as Gu Jianguo's rigid temperament is concerned, he must know that he must not kill his relatives righteously.

Gu Mingdong didn't think of a solution for a while, so he had to say: "What do you think about so much, eat and drink, eat and drink, work hard, as long as you live, don't you worry about not being able to repay the kindness of the third uncle?"

He can survive in the last days, but in another world, Gu Mingdong doesn't believe that he won't be able to get decent food to eat.

"Xiaobei, cook more tomorrow, so as not to be full and unable to work."

With these words at the bottom, Gu Simei finally stopped picking, and the next day's sweet potato porridge didn't have a lot of wild vegetables.

The sweet potato porridge with only sweet potatoes and rice tasted much sweeter than wild vegetable porridge. Everyone including Gu Mingdong lowered their heads and ate it fiercely.

The twins finally ate pure rice porridge, and Gu Mingdong was a little sad to see that small appearance.

I knew that I should change a few eggs to supplement the children.

After a full meal, when they went to work, the three of Gu Mingdong were also very energetic in their work. The surrounding members were amazed at this, and wondered what was wrong with the old Gu's family.

After a while, a man came over to speak with a wicked look.
